I really don't like the idea of keeping ShadowCreations content on
ShadowRN. It would turn off people who want to work on the SC project but
don't want to read all the RN mail, and it would make it that much harder
for the organizer(s) to keep track of it.
I would probably post updates every couple of weeks to ShadowRN, just a
short couple paragraphs of what's going on, what's being written, what we
could need, etc.

This is the way I would prefer to do it. It's how Hayden did it over in
the early days of NERPS, and it seemed to work the best. Although part of
that was everyone was scared of Hayden :-)

Personally, I think that Any article submitted should be looked at, because
often times you hear the idea for something and it ends up being completely
different from what you thought it would be. Also, article direction tends
to change as it gets written.. I'm a big fan of not judging something until
I see it (Unless the concept is truly ridiculous to start).
I agree that all final articles should have some sort of approval process
from the list at large. After all, it's a group project..
